Both of my favourite games were discovered by pure accident. First, there was Golden Sun: The Lost Age. I was wandering around the store and there was this one copy of it in the case. I was desperate for something new, so I took a chance and bought it. It's now been 5 years and I've beat it at least 6 times. That game is made of win.

Next, is Tales of Symphonia. I went to the Movie Gallery (rental store) one day to browse. I was looking at a few games when this game caught my eye. I read the box and thought it sounded cool, so I rented it. That was love at first play. I re-rented it many times but eventually it had to go back. I was heart-broken. Over a bunch of months and several replays of the game, I probably spent way more money than it would've cost to buy it, but it wasn't in stores anymore. Finally, this summer (a few years since I first rented it) I bought it off Ebay for $40 or something. I would've payed $100 if I'd had to.
